Value Collection 244717 Carriage Bolt 1/4-20 3/4in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 244717 is a 1/4-20 UNC carriage bolt with a 3/4-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The square neck design locks the bolt against rotation in wood or composite material as the nut is driven, eliminating the need for a wrench on the bolt head. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides solid corrosion resistance for applications exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions. This bolt is suited for light structural fastening tasks performed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors across residential and light commercial installations.

This carriage bolt is used in a wide range of trade and construction fastening applications including equipment mounting, bracket attachment, and utility connections where a flush, rounded head profile is required. The 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common inch-series fastener standards, making this bolt compatible with standard hex nuts and washers readily available in the field. The uncoated 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for damp, wet, or mildly corrosive environments such as mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment installations, and outdoor utility enclosures.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and hardware
• 3/4-inch length under head suits thin-stock fastening applications
• Square neck locks bolt in place during tightening, no wrench required on head
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in wet environments
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and consistent thread fit

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4-20 UNC inch-series hex nuts, flat washers, and lock washers in typical structural and equipment-mounting fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Insert the bolt through a pre-drilled hole sized to allow the square neck to seat flush and resist rotation. Drive the nut with a standard wrench or socket while the square neck bears against the material to prevent spinning. Ensure hole diameter matches the bolt shank for proper square-neck engagement. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes when using fasteners in load-bearing or code-governed assemblies.
